    Presuming you can survive on £25 per week for all food, toiletries, kitchen, cleaning stuff with an income of £1052 pcm you are already down to £58 per month left over to pay for:-

    Mobile phone
    Landline
    Broadband
    Car tax
    Car insurance
    Car MOT
    Petrol
    Clothes
    Health/life insurance
    Emergencies
    Brithday/christmas cards/gifts
    Property maintenance

    And dont forget the purchasing costs, eg £899 for mortgage, stamp duty, solicitors costs, all of which could easily top £3K-£4K.

    Please do not take offence, but this thread is either a wind up or you really do need to see a financial adviser.

    Whatever you do decide to do I hope it all works out.
